UK members: Kirby Tradition parts urgently need a new home!

[vintagehoover]

Here's the deal:

I have these Kirby Tradition parts. I don't want them. I've gifted the machine itself and the dusting tools to a friend, and all these 'extras' are just taking up valuable space!

I want them gone, so if anyone's interested, let me know on this thread, or send me an email (address is on my profile page).

- Offer open to UK residents only, I can't ship them outside the country

- You can't pick and choose - it's all or nothing! I just don't have the time to run down to the post office with individual parts to work out pricing. They'll be shipped as a set.

- Postage will be £13.28. PAYPAL ONLY!

- If no one's claimed them by Friday 16th Oct., they'll go to the tip. I hate to dispose of perfectly good stuff, but I just can't afford the space any more. Makes no sense to keep them when I've given the machine away!

- Feel free to ask me further questions about what's included, I'll do my best to answer.

So, to sum up:

What you see is what you get.

- 2 polishers. One seems to have been used once, the other appears to be unused.

- 2 shampooers. Same deal.

- 2 Spray-bottle-gun-thingys

- 2 full bottles of Kirby...fluids. I make no guarantee that the chemicals will still work!!

- Lots of Rug Renovator pads

- Box for Rug Renovator - some water damage at front. See pic.

- Handi-Butler in box. H-B has been used - lightly - by me.

- H-B jigsaw fitting (seems unused) with 2 unused blades in envelope

- H-B buffing/sanding/polishing kit in box. 2 sticks of polishing compound. All unused.

As you can see, a LOT of this stuff has never been used, suprise, surprise. I guess the original owner lost the instructional cine-film or something...and if the Kirby Handi-Dialysis Machine or the Kirby Handi-Tunnelling Electron Microscope fitting were ever present, they're not now.

I know I live in the US, but if the shampooer fits a Heritage II, I might be interested.

Absolute last chance with these! Hate to dispose of brand new vintage parts, but if no one claims this evening, they're going to the tip tomorrow!

You have been warned!!

 

[bagintheback]

Are you sure you can't ship outside the UK?

 

[vintagehoover]

There's no point. The shipping costs for this large, heavy box would be absolutely astronomical, and it makes no sense for anyone in the US to pay that when you can get all this stuff in your own country for much less.

Also, for something I'm not making any money on, it would be too much hassle to pack it all to survive transatlantic shipping, and to take this somewhere to be shipped abroad.

[vintagehoover]

Hi James,

yes, they're both full - I'm assuming they're unused. I have no idea if they'd still work after 30 or so years, though!!

Hope U got it ok.

James

 

[vintagehoover]

Hi James,

got the email and payment, I'll get them dispatched to you tomorrow morning.

Glad they're going to such a worthy home, it would have been a shame to just throw them away! I hope there's stuff in the set that you can make use of!

Jack
